Rank Recognition 

WKMF rank recognition rules are the same as those of the World Karate Federation (WKF). For rank recognition you need to be member of the WKMF at the first step, this means that you should be approved as a Karate teacher by us. 

Your rank should fall in one of the following categories for being recognized:

• WKF and its national federations certificates

• Certificate issued by the grand masters who are active in the WKMF and WKF.

• Certificates issued by the grand masters and associations if they meet the requirement of the style and their originality is ensured. 

Dan certificate Administration fees for Dan Recognition:  Shodan, Nidan, Sandan USD$50, Yondan USD$60, Godan $70, Rokudan $80, Shichidan $90, Hachidan $100.  Kyuu and Judan should be awarded by your own organization.    

Fees are due when we accepted and approved your Dan / Rank Recognition.  A hard copy / paper Certificate will mail directly to you.

Custom Embroidery black belt (one side with WKMF in kanji and the other side is with your name on) is optional for purchase, USD$100 including international shipping fees.
